Word of the Day - 12/4/2008

Cull

To cull is to choose; select; pick.

After a night of prayer, Jesus culled his twelve disciples.

It was at this time that He went off to the mountain to pray, and He spent the whole night in prayer to God. And when day came, He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them, whom He also named as apostles: (Luke 6:12-13, NASB)

Note: This watercolour of Jesus calling his disciples was painted by James Tissot (1836-1902).
